Nigel Barnett has spent his childhood designing, building, destroying and tinkering. He started with LEGOs, moved on to DC motors and circuits, then computer hardware, 3D printing, and now, in high school, a solar car.
Someday he might take his love for building stuff to the International Space Station.
A 17-year-old senior at Seattle’s Raisbeck Aviation High School, Nigel is GeekWire’s Junior Geek of the Month for April. The monthly honor, presented by Northern Trust, recognizes talented young innovators, creators and entrepreneurs in the Pacific Northwest.
